Sources cited by the Wall Street Journal say that Samsung has decided that for the time being it won’t replace Google Search with Bing on Galaxy devices.
Last month Samsung put quite a scare into Google when rumors started to circulate that the Korean phone manufacturer was going to replace the Google search engine on its Galaxy phones with Microsoft’s Bing. The latter was the shiniest search engine in town because of its integration with conversational AI chatbot ChatGPT, and Google had been hearing through the grapevine that its search engine was about to play the role of a jilted lover.
As it turns out, Google can relax-for now. The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that according to people familiar with the matter, Samsung has decided to suspend an internal review about whether it should replace Google Search with Bing on the Samsung Internet app. The app is pre-installed on Galaxy phones (as an aside, it is a fabulous Android browser and can be installed from the Google Play Store).
